Ski movie season in Colorado stokes the thirst for powder, starts Saturday

Ski movie season is back in Colorado and coming to a town near you, including two offerings from Colorado-based film companies Matchstick Productions of Crested Butte and Warren Miller Entertainment of Boulder.

Teton Gravity Research’s movie “Pressure Drop” has been making the rounds already, but has a few showings left in Colorado.

Ski movies are a staple to early-season stoke for skiers and riders looking to be AHHHHed about what was ridden the previous season and who slayed the lines the best.

For 2025’s season, expect world-class skiing and riding with epic snow, amazing locations and great story telling of people sliding on snow.

Matchstick Productions

Opening on a quiet, storm-buried morning, “After The Snowfall” from Crested Butte-based Matchstick Productions is a high-octane and heartfelt journey through the culture and chaos of modern skiing.

Filmed in stunning locations from the Lyngen Alps of Norway to the heli-accessed steeps of British Columbia, the film showcases an elite crew of skiers, including Michelle Parker, Nikolai Schirmer, Nico Porteous, Caite Zeliff, and more, pushing boundaries with jaw-dropping style and skill.

But this is not just a story about pros. It is about the everyday ski bum, the weekend warrior, and the mountain town lifer whose passion burns just as bright. Interwoven throughout the action are honest and irreverent reflections from both athletes and everyday skiers on what skiing means to them; why they risk injury, chase fleeting storms, and build their lives around snow.

The film explores both the literal mountains they climb and the internal terrain they navigate: personal growth, camaraderie, obsession, and joy.

With Matchstick Productions’ signature blend of cinematic artistry and raw stoke, “After The Snowfall” is a reminder that skiing is more than a sport, it is a way of life. Presented by Toyota and supported by The North Face and Stanley, this film is a tribute to the people, places, and powder turns that make it all worth it.

Warren Miller Entertainment’s “SNO-CIETY” is not just about snow — it’s about the tight-knit community, shared rituals, and sense of belonging that come with snow culture.
